@Doubleau anker....
Yes. If someone were sitting at the controls with power on the a/c this would likely have been avoided.
However, this is not practiced in the corporate jet world as it's not practical to have a pilot standing by in case the FBO needs to move the plane. The FBO will move planes about the ramp as needed to make space for others.
These aircraft are locked and usually need some sort of power, apu w/ hydraulics or at least electrical power, in order for the brakes to work. No FBO or a/c operator would permit a line person to operate the brakes anyway.
To add....I visit BNA Atlantic frequently and the ramp is unusually sloped. Very uncommon.
